The kitchen does not have to be a place where one’s meals
are prepared. Gone are the days where one’s kitchen was just a space in the
home. Today kitchens reign at drawing room conversations. It is not very difficult
to add to one’s style quotient with a well planned and designed kitchen. The
main consideration is to remember that apart from looking good on the surface,
one’s kitchen needs to be practical as well. The following are some basic
essentials that a luxury kitchen should encompass.
Mr. Anant
Maloo, CMD of Timbor Home Ltd., has always emphasized that it is the birthright
of a woman to have a good kitchen that reflects her own personal style. A
kitchen is often ‘the place’ when it comes to parties at home. Similar to the
‘office cooler’ where people gather and discuss work happenings, casual parties
have a lot of people coming and out of the kitchen, especially if it is the
host/hostess that is preparing the food.
The first consideration for a luxury kitchen is to have a kitchen island that will provide a platform for conversation and lounging. A kitchen island that is broad with a sleek countertop of coloured granite or wood is quite popular. Open kitchens too are becoming quite the rage nowadays. Depending on space available, it is also a good idea to have a country-style wooden table in one corner of the kitchen, preferably close to a window.

Cabinets in wood or with a steel finish make quite an impact. Hard wood flooring in the kitchen is a popular trend. Lighting in the kitchen cannot be forgotten. One should make provisions for task as well as ambient lighting.
